Positive Case of COVID-19 3-5’s Age Group
It has been bought to our attention yesterday that one of our 3-5’s children have tested positive for COVID-19. The child has not been in nursery since last Thursday and is currently completing their isolation. This child was a close contact of a family member who was also positive. We will continue to closely monitor all children and our staff for COVID-19 symptoms.
Thank you to those parents who have taken their child for a PCR test. We really appreciate your understanding and on-going support in ensuring everyone remains safe within our Wonderland community.
Chicken Pox
We can confirm that we have had a confirmed case of chicken pox within our Baby Unit. Chickenpox is common and mostly affects children, although you can get it at any age.
If you suspect your child has Chickenpox, please contact your GP to get this confirmed. Once this has been confirmed your child must stay at home until all spots have scabbed over.
If you would like some more information regarding Chickenpox, please look on the NHS website. Link provided below:
